Web Portfolio Notes in PDF format

Server: a networked computer that supplies information or services

Client: a networked computer that uses server functions

The Internet:  The network of networks

World Wide Web (WWW): A distributed global system for sharing over the Internet with cross-platform standards:

• Communication protocols: HyperText Transfer Protocol, http://
  
• Addressing system: Uniform Resource Locator, URL
• Document Language: HyperText Markup Language, HTML
  

Hyperlinks: shortcuts to other data

Hypermedia: Linked information (i.e. text, images, drawings, sound, video, 3D models, etc.)

Web page: HTML file w/ referenced components

• case-sensitive (don't capitalize letters)
• use identifying extensions (i.e. .html, .gif, .jpg)
• avoid spaces and punctuation marks other than periods

Absolute addresses include the server information (i.e. "http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~graphics/lectures/acg00-2.html")

Relative or local addresses identify locations in relationship to the current file (i.e. "../lectures/acg00-2.html"

Photoshop Transformations

• PhotoCorrection: Contrast/Brightness, Levels
• Geometric / Physical: Crop, Cut/Paste, Paste Into, Rotate, Skew

Organizing Information for reuse

• Layers
• Groups

• Using document views: Layout, Source for HTML & Preview (& Browser preview)
  
• Palettes: Inspector, Object, Color
  

1) Technical Essentials: All students must know how to:

• download and upload
  
• insert, edit and format text
  
• put images in the right folder
  
• insert and edit images
  
• create a link
  
  

2) File paths and Relative references:

• Understand why local and remote versions must be the same
  
• Learn how to fix a broken link by learning relative references
  

Common causes for broken links:

• File reference: looking in the wrong directory
  
  • local & remote file systems don't match or
    
  • absolute address given: file://Desktop%20Folder/Macintosh%20HD/arch510/..
• File name: reads differently on local and remote capitalization, spaces, punctuation
  
• File type: different than extension i.e. Photoshop file called JPG
  
  

3) Design elements:

• Layout grid & floating boxes
  
• Adjusting colors for the overall document (triangle near the “Welcome to GoLive” page name), grid, table
  
• Standard color palettes (use colors with names or numbers)
  
• Use relative font sizes +1, -1 rather than fixed
  
• Use Photoshop Save for Web GIF or JPG
  
  

4) Using helpful troubleshooting tools:

• Use a GoLive site files to manage a website
  
  • New Site > import from folder
    
  • Creating links with Point and Shoot
    
  • Site view w/ link warnings
    
• Error checking: Edit file > check syntax (in older versions, Show link warnings)
  
• Site menu > FTP server > Connect (or connect by hitting icon)
  
• Dr. HTML website
  
  

5) OPTIONAL in order of difficulty:

• Tables
  
• Rollovers
  
• Frames
  
• Embedded sounds
  
• Cascading Style Sheets
  
• Forms
  
• JavaScript Actions
  
• etc.....
